Pretty sure someone posted the other day that they weren’t and when they visited the SOL they didnt really understand football rules in general.

Could be wrong obviously, Just strange that they would make an assumption on Ross and the background team before even setting foot inside the club to see it for themselves. Surely they would take advice from SD already in, Who hasn’t looked to replace him either.

FWIW i’m not a Ross fan, the football is turgid more often than its good.

Well if I was considering splashing the kind of cash they are I think I would be making a few inquiries prior to making my purchase. Edit - they also seem to have been interested in getting involved in football for quite a long time so must have picked up some knowledge along the way.

OK, this is all I've been told and all I can say so won't be taking questions.

The fella I've just left is a multi-millionaire art dealer who had lunch with Fuhrman in New York a month back. He also knows Phelan personally but not Dell. Apparently Fuhrman's 1.2 billion collection cost him a total of £2 million ... smart man.

I was shown a WhatsApp message from my fella congratulating Fuhrman on his purchase of the club and a thank you response. There are a handful of minor issues to resolve, before it can be announced, but absolutely NOTHING that can affect the deal.

So, that's it, done.

Nothing regarding the plans, of which I was told, will be announced until the PR stuff starts. Believe me though, it's mind blowing and they will be throwing money at it despite what people are speculating.

They're not happy with Ross and the staff but believe the team should be promoted.

Fuhrman has said he'll be going to games.

Now, my lunch has arrived and Mrs Reiver is giving me daggers.

Cheers Reiver, as you know most of us appreciate the updates! All sounds promising, let's just hope it's announced soon, could do with a pick me up after Peterborough!

eh?? rake through my posts where I've said it should be delayed or collapses or been cynical about it. I post articles and proof of the progress. Anyone can say stuff with no proof and I'd rather see it for myself. If I said I know a bloke who was in the office told me they want it done by the end of September would that make you feel better?

Whees this no mark?
 
Regarding Ross, all they have to do is look at his win lose draw record and decide wether or not they are above/below of what they deem acceptable or not, obviously they aren’t happy with him, simple

They'll be taking soundings from here, there and everywhere. These are very smart people.

I wasn't sure whether to post this as I'd hoped people were switched on enough to work it out.

Ask yourselves whether they'd be aware of the massive amount of money Short lost.

Ask yourselves if they have a few quid.

Ask yourselves if they'd use some of that money to engage an experienced retired English manager to advise them, on the quiet, before, during and after the takeover.

Come on people, wake up ...

... or else I'll have to resort to a video clip using f***ing glove puppets to represent the various characters :lol:
